7:27 PMSuperMetalDave64​The problem with Metacritic is that they now allow for Fanboy websites to take part. Nintendo Life is one of them, they have been guilty of giving all Nintendo games over blown scores etc

7:27 PMeathdemon​sometimes I hate accountants. yes using your own engine in theory saves you 1 million, but in real world added way more time/cost

7:31 PMAndreas Protopapas​David Prowse?

7:31 PMAndrew Eisen​That was the guy in the Darth Vader suit.

7:32 PMeathdemon​me1,2,3, da1,2 were all built in ue3

7:32 PMSuperMetalDave64​David Prowse was also the guy fighting Luke Skywalkter, not James Earl Jones

7:32 PMSuperMetalDave64​*walker

7:33 PMeathdemon​why in the world would you ever put a game dev studio in sf you deserve to fail for that

7:33 PMAndrew Eisen​Yep. Jones = voice. Prowse = suit. Shaw = face.

7:41 PMSuperMetalDave64​I never liked Kinect personally

7:41 PMlittlegittel​I think I did dance central

7:41 PMSuperMetalDave64​ah ok

7:41 PMCodeNameZ​Remerber when Micosoft say “The Xbox is the kinect” it was pre launch of the X1

7:46 PMlittlegittel​Without caffeine I don’t remember my own name

7:47 PMSuperMetalDave64​Microsoft announced 12 games for OG Xbox BC, and what makes me a tad jealous is that it has Dead to Rights, Prince of Persia Sands of Time, Red Faction 2 and BloodRayne 2, which were also on Gamecube

7:47 PMSuperMetalDave64​which means that Xbox One has Gamecube BC before Switch does

7:47 PMSuperMetalDave64​lol

7:47 PMCodeNameZ​Did you hear some people got Sonic Forces early and now there are leaks everyware some people posted even major plot poins

7:47 PMAndrew Eisen​Bloodrayne 2 wasn’t on Gamecube. I remember because I liked the first one and was bummed it didn’t get the sequel.

7:48 PMAndrew Eisen​CodeName – No, but I heard the demo stops after a minute.

7:48 PMSuperMetalDave64​ah

7:51 PMCodeNameZ​Pocket Camp sounds like a teen wanna to be funny

7:51 PMCodeNameZ​I pre registrare for Pocket Camp

7:52 PMSuperMetalDave64​From what it looks like, it will be micro-transactions to speed up certain things in Animal Crossing, but you can still play the game for free completely

7:52 PMCodeNameZ​If you have the e reader + gba + special gamw cards you can get exlusive items in games

7:53 PMlittlegittel​Yes, always a way to spend real money. Meanie-heads

7:53 PMSuperMetalDave64​I like spending fake money better
